Has anyone used a Doula or Midwife in Pueblo?  I am looking for recommendations!

Jessica Nipp just delivered my second baby at home this past week. Pm me and I can give you her info. She is in Colorado Springs, but comes down to pueblo for births. I think she is the best midwife ever joy.gif. There is also Shannon McDougal I think her name is out in pueblo west, I have only met her once though so I can't give you much information on her.

I emailed Jessica Nipp a while ago and she responded that she "rarely serves the Pueblo region" which was dissapointing. She also refered me to Sharon Mc Dougal who never responded to my email. So far I am really unimpressed with the options in Pueblo.

Well that really sucks, I think maybe Jessica took me as a client because I used her for my last pregnancy and there was no midwife here then. I agree that we have almost no choices here in Pueblo. Is there still a midwife in Canon City that would take you? I am not sure but I was thinking there was one there. If not, I have no other suggestions. I would call Sharon if it was me but only because I would worry my email would go to the spam folder. I hope you figure something out.

I don't know how long you have lived here or your birth situation or history but I have had horrible luck with almost all doctors and hospitals here, I can't wait to move away.

Thanks for trying! I think I am going to try to contact Sharron again. I'm not sure if I'll be able to have a homebirth since I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy. I work full time so going to the springs for care is not a good option for me. I am hoping that I can either find a willing midwife or a decent OB and a Doula.

 

I had the BEST EVER CNM with my last baby in Wyoming. I believe she's a clinical instructor at the University of Colorado Hospital now.

Here are my doula contacts down in the Pueblo area. Maybe they know of a midwife?

I know this is an older thread, but Jan Eklund is a great midwife and located in South Colorado Springs, but serves Pueblo. There is also Emily Likens that serves the Pueblo area. I would recommend either of them.

Kim Littau is also a FANTASTIC doula in CS but will come to Pueblo. Her number is (719) 321-0247
